Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here at PackersNews.com. Grab a strong cup of coffee and get caught up on everything you need to know about the Packers. There’s a lot of it.

Barely more than 24 hours after the Green Bay Packers finished their 2017 season, they’re looking for a new general manager and new defensive coordinator.

The Packers needed this shock, though alone it won’t go very far. In the end it’s about finding people of competence and substance to run the team, and putting good players on the field. But at minimum any complacency that had drifted into the organization the last few years should be gone.

Now starts what should be a newsy week or two as the franchise goes about filling not one but two of its important posts.

Finding Thompson’s successor falls on Mark Murphy, the Packers’ president/CEO. This is by far the most important hire of his 10-year tenure.

The Packers don’t have an owner pocketing profits, so all their resources go toward winning games and ensuring the franchise has a viable financial future. Everything revolves around putting the best possible team on the field.

And the person responsible for that is the GM, who as the Packers’ football czar has final say over all football decisions. So this is a decision Murphy has to get right.

The other big news from Monday was Mike McCarthy’s dismissal of his long-time defensive coordinator Dom Capers.

Turns out Capers isn’t the only one being let go on the defensive side of the ball:

Can confirm @RobDemovsky ‘s excellent reporting that #Packers DL coach Mike Trgovac and ILB coach Scott McCurley have been let go, in addition to Capers. The dismissals are not over. McCarthy making big changes.

#Packers long-time GM Ted Thompson will move to a new role in the organization and the team needs a new GM, sources tell me. There are several internal candidates such as Brian Gutekunst, Eliot Wolf, and Russ Ball. pic.twitter.com/eHlixMtcAr
